Inspirational Quotes about Sicily

“You will never find those smells of sun-dried seaweed and capers and ripe figs anywhere; those burnt and fragrant coasts, those seething seas, those jasmines that flake in the sun.” ― Dacia Maraini

“Since we have titled this book The Islands, in accordance with this heading, the first island we will talk about will be Sicily because it is the richest of the islands and is in first place due to the antiquity of the myths that are told about it. The island, in ancient times called Trinacria due to its shape, then called Sicania by the Sicans who settled there, eventually received the name Sicily from the Siculi, who passed there en masse from Italy.” ― Diodorus Siculus

“The climate is temperate, the air very sweet, the island fertile, and the temple much more beautiful than people say.” ― William Shakespeare

“My land is on the rivers close to the sea, no other place has such a slow voice, where my feet wander, among rushes heavy with snails.” ― Salvatore Quasimodo

“For us Sicilians not by birth, but by election, leaving this land is a controlled effort, an effort of uncertain duration. It is not an island, but a vastness of memories.” ― Unknown

“There is a particular note in the songs of the Sicilian people, which would make them stand out among those of a thousand other peoples, and it is a note of elegance: almost a disdain for everything that is vulgar and scurrilous.” ― Gesualdo Manzella Frontini

“Of all the islands of the Mediterranean, Sicily is the largest, the most fertile, the most populated. Located at the extreme tip of Italy, towards the west, it forms an arm of the sea called the Strait of Messina, no more than three-quarters of a league-wide in the northern part; right in this channel there are the famous promontories of Charybdis and Scilla: Charybdis near the port of Messina, Scilla on the peninsula. Sicily is triangular; its widest part is about sixty-six leagues. It is divided into three “valleys”, a term that means “province”. These valleys were named after the cities that are or have been their capitals: the Mazzara Valley to the south, the Noto Valley to the east, and the Emonè Valley to the north.” ― Jean Pierre Louis Laurent Hoüel

“The Sicilian people are strong, generous, intelligent people. The Sicilian people are the children of at least three civilizations: the Greek civilization, the Arab civilization, and the Spanish civilization. These people are rich in intelligence. Therefore it should not be confused with this minority which is the m*fia. It is a bubo that has been created on a healthy body.” ― Sandro Pertini

“We must remember that Sicily is the land of Archimedes, not the land of the mafia. What Archimedes did is unique in the world. He is the only man in the world who, from the dawn of civilization until 1500 AD, in ten thousand years understood things that no one else, not even Einstein, understood until 1929. It was he who said Give me a lever and I will lift the world. Associating the image of Sicily with such a great scientist is a big problem that we must face. It is a topic that we have forgotten for two thousand years.” ― Antonino Zichichi

“Our land has suffered so much moral and material devastation. Even nature has sometimes been fierce against our earth through earthquakes. Yet, what has remained intact? An infinite beauty remains, unique in the world. It is enough to travel around our Sicily, the coasts, the interior of Sicily, to discover a beauty that our ancestors, our progenitors, have left us as a legacy, perhaps sure that we would have respected this nature, then we would have exalted…which we didn’t do. This land, without a future, is dead, it is finished, it has disappeared, and young people will find nothing, nothing but rubble and devastation. Bitter land of mine, bitter…and beautiful. Beauty will win, I’m sure. Beauty will triumph.” ― Pippo Baudo

Quotes about Life in Sicily

“It is easy to be happy in Sicily, but it is an operation that requires biological as well as cultural adaptation: you have to learn to live time in the Sicilian way.” ― Francine Prose

“You arrive here and you realize that the city you live in, that is Paris, seems like an ordinary, anonymous place, which immediately refuses to consider it the capital of the world that everyone believes, and not even the center of Europe because it doesn’t have the colors of Sicily. , neither its perfumes nor the flavors that dye and incense the soul of my childhood.” ― Claudia Cardinale

“Sicily is a complex island but you can perceive its secret every time you marvel, that you notice a detail, that you learn a new word, that you look at a square, that you let the light enter your eyes while looking at the sea.” ― Fabrizio Caramagna

As I grew up and acquired more confidence in myself and in my Sicilian nature, however, I realized that not only do we have nothing less, but that we must defend the name of Sicily with every instrument.” ― Maria Grazia Cucinotta

“I was born in Sicily and there man is born island within an island and remains so until his death, even living far from his harsh native land surrounded by the immense and jealous sea.” ― Luigi Pirandello

“Sicilian spring begins in January, and as the plants bloom it becomes a sorceress’ garden: mint sprouts on the banks of the streams, the dead trees are garlanded with dog roses, even the brutal cactus puts out tender flowers. So the arrival of winter doesn’t scare me: what better prospect than sitting in front of the fire waiting for spring?” ― Truman Capote

“We feel a special bond with Sicily and its people – in fact, our first campaigns were shot in Sicily, like the one shot in Vucciria Sicilian historical market We enjoyed showing the faces and the characters that crowd that beautiful market every day.” ― Stefano Gabbana

“I rented a house in Favignana, off the coast of Sicily, in the mid or late ’90s. There was a revolving door of visiting friends and family – we played games, painted our faces, went swimming naked, cooked big meals, rode around on motorini, and had great cappuccinos.” ― Amber Valletta

“I come from a small village in Sicily. For all Italian people, family is very important. We don’t fight with our families.” ― Domenico Dolce

“My memories of my childhood are wonderful memories. I feel that I was privileged because I grew up in a beautiful city. It is Catania, on the eastern coast of Sicily. It’s a place filled with sun, close to the beach.” ― Luca Parmitano

Sicily Travel Quotes

“Sicily is a gift from God, there are places you can’t imagine, at the end of a road you come across an amphitheater made of lava stone, and if you go up Etna and see the sea, well, then you understand why those who know the Sicily is in love with it.” ― Carmen Consoli

“Italy is incredible: and you have to go to Sicily to see how incredible Italy is.” ― Leonardo Sciascia

“It only takes a moment to feel enveloped by a new and ancient sensation, enveloping and narcotizing at the same time, that moment in which you set foot on this island, having just stepped off a train or a plane. And you immediately understand that this land, this landscape, this light belongs to you, they are part of your DNA, of your roots, of your soul, of something that you feel is yours…” ― Claudia Cardinale

“We are used to thinking of the sea in summer but the most beautiful season to come to Sicily is precisely this, spring or autumn, which for me, a melancholy individual, is a season of great charm. Sicily is the cradle of our culture, here the DNA of our Mediterranean people is preserved in a laboratory. A great land which however contains many souls: I cannot imagine anything more different from each other between Palermo, Ragusa, Catania, Taormina, Trapani…” ― Luca Zingaretti

“Going to Sicily is better than going to the moon.” ― Gabriel Garcìa Màrquez

“You’ve seen the generous ones
Sicilian mountains are covered with vineyards.
You drank in Messina, Palermo and Etna;
Catania has filled your cup.” ― Jan Andrzej Morsztyn

“If we place ourselves at the highest point occupied by ancient spectators [of the ancient theatre], we must recognize that a theater audience probably never saw something similar in front of them. On the right side castles overlook the cliffs above; further away, below us, the city extends and, although its houses are of recent times, they certainly occupy the same places where others once stood. In front of us the entire, long mountain massif of Etna; on the left the sea shore up to Catania, or rather to Syracuse; and the very large picture is closed by the colossal smoking volcano, which in the sweetness of the sky appears more distant and more gentle, and does not inspire terror.” ― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

“Finally Taormina, an earthly paradise on a whispering sea, an island of perfumes and flowers among the rocks, lights on the sea, glowing Etna.” ― Karel Čapek

After a day, the Sicilian will have ten ideas to solve this problem, the Milanese not even one. After two days, the Sicilian will have a hundred ideas to solve this problem, the Milanese none. After three days, the Sicilian will have a thousand ideas to solve this problem, and the Milanese will have already solved it.” ― Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa

“It takes longer to cross Sicily on the tracks than to fly from another part of the world.” ― Sergio Rizzo

“Sleep is what Sicilians want, and they will always hate anyone who wants to wake them up, even to bring them the most beautiful gifts.” ― Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa

“In Sicily we have everything. We miss the rest.” ― Pino Caruso

“Sicilians build things like they will live forever and eat like they will die tomorrow.” ― Plato

Quotes about Sicilian cities and towns

“Palermo, Mediterranean Museum: if you want to know what passed on these blue waves, come to Palermo. It is a delightful city, a sweet city, a fragrant city. Its squares, its streets, its gardens, its monuments are magnificent. Here is Sicily: nature’s masterpiece, the center of the world, an illustrious land, so moving and noble in its mysterious destiny.” ― Gabriel Hanotaux

“I pray to you, O splendid, most beautiful among the cities of mortals.” ― Pindaro on Agrigento

“An emerald sea surrounding the island. The poetry hidden in every cove. The need for the infinite that comes true when you walk its streets. The little white houses that seem to welcome you at every turn. This is Favignana.” ― Fabrizio Caramagna

“Palermo makes you sit among its baroque squares and pours you with endless beauty.” ― Fabrizio Caramagna

“This Sicilian Baroque, as seen in Catania, Acireale, Noto, to name just the places where it excels most, is different from all the others, and cannot be confused with either the Spanish one or the so-called colonial one. It is solid in its structures, but all embroidered, I would say trapunto, in the windows, balconies, balustrades and grates; he has whims, fantasies, lyricism that one might call Moorish; it has cloistered romanticisms, voluptuous delicacies. (…) In short, it is a baroque that is not cold, but rather vital, ardent, full of dreams.” ― Guido Piovene

“Anyone who has seen the sky of Palermo once will never be able to forget it.” ― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

“I feel a very strong intellectual, cultural, and artistic connection with Agrigento. Pirandello has often been my guiding light and having interpreted his texts made me love the roots and origins of this city even more.” ― Michele Placido

Poems and songs about Sicily

“I am saddened by you love
my land, if dark perfumes
loses the orange evening
or oleanders, serene
walk the stream with roses
which almost touches its mouth.” ― Salvatore Quasimodo

“Then the beautiful ones will come to meet you
Beaches of the Trinacria island, where
He feeds the flock of the Sun, he feeds the herd.” ― Homer

“The bow of the boat cuts the sea in two
but the sea comes together and always remains the same
and between a Greek, a Norman, a Byzantine
I still remained Sicilian.” ― Lucio Dalla

“Do you know the land where cedars flourish? Golden oranges shine among the brown leaves, through the blue sky a sweet zephyr blows, humble myrtle sprouts, the laurel stands tall.” ― Goethe

“Summer descends on Sicily like a yellow hawk on the yellow expanse of the fiefdom covered in tow. The light multiplies in a continuous explosion and seems to reveal and open the bizarre shapes of the mountains and makes the sky, the earth and the sea compact and very hard, a single uninterrupted wall of colored metal. Under the infinite weight of that light, men and animals move in silence, perhaps actors in a remote drama, whose words do not reach the ears: but the gestures are in the luminous air like changing and petrified voices, like trunks of prickly pears, twisted olive fronds, monstrous rocks, black bottomless caves.” ― Carlo Levi

“Possibly, Daedelus recognized that he had reached a place in which the most lush magnificence, the most sybaritic pleasures console us for – without ever lying about – the harshness of existence.” ― Francine Prose

“I know that there are cities that don’t know how to live
how to live in Catania in the summer
when the hotter it is the better, because
he who does not know what it is has not lived
a drinks kiosk in Catania…
and there are a hundred of them… and you get closer
carrying your desert on the tongue
and the beginnings of fire in your hair…
and you hear the ice crack like the heart of a glacier.” ― Pasquale Panella

“The oranges of the island are like blazing fire among emerald boughs, And the lemons are like the pale faces of lovers who have spent the night crying.” ― Abd ar-Rahman

“On the way to Taormina
between olive groves and blue sea
the path winds along the shore;
moves Aurora away from the snow-white
Etna the veil with the rosy finger.
The almond tree stretches out along the street within the chariot the flowering branches,
jokes like a happy dryad
gives the lovely blush.
Above the rhythm of the Ocean,
its myths Greece sends;
immense scream, at the classic lido
the sea pours the melody,
and whispers in the Ionian language,
among the tremor of the Etna aura,
ever-fresh, eternally-young
rhapsodies of the Odyssey.” ― Carlo Snoilsky

Quotes about Sicilians 

“It is incredible how Sicilians, from the lowest level to the highest peaks, are in solidarity with each other and how even scientists of undeniable value run to the margins of the Penal Code for this feeling of solidarity. I convinced myself that Sicilians really belong to themselves; there is more similarity between a Calabrian and a Piedmontese than between a Calabrian and a Sicilian.” ― Antonio Gramsci

“Sicilians are sharp and suspicious people, born for controversies.” ― Marcus Tullius Cicero

“Whatever may happen to the Sicilians, they will comment on it with a joke.” ― Marcus Tullius Cicero

“A trap that Sicilians willingly fall into: expecting to understand Sicily before understanding themselves.” ― Gesualdo Bufalino

“Understanding Sicily therefore means for a Sicilian to understand himself, absolve himself or condemn himself. But it means, at the same time, defining the fundamental conflict that torments us, the oscillation between claustrophobia and claustrophilia, between hatred and love of seclusion, according to whether expatriation tempts us or the intimacy of a den flatters us, the seduction of living the life with a solitary vice. Insularity, I mean, is not just a geographical segregation, but brings with it others: of the province, of the family, of the room, of one’s heart. Hence our pride, distrust, modesty; and the sense of being different.” ― Gesualdo Bufalino

“From the (historical) nature of the Sicilian a pride emerges: that of having the privilege of misfortunes.” ― Pino Caruso

“I love to think of Sicily as a place where you can find all kinds of contradictions. You will always find that everything has a foundation. But certainly the fact that it is an island has greatly influenced the ability to reason, but also, perhaps, the ability to reason unreasonably, if we always want to quote Pirandello. What has always struck me is that, in my opinion, the island, being born on an island has accentuated the dreamy streak of Sicilians. Being forced to imagine what is on the other side of the horizon has greatly accentuated this visionary streak which is very close to me, in some way.” ― Giuseppe Tornatore

“Sicilians are more characters than people.” ― Roberto Gervaso

“In Sicily there are women who have the most beautiful and luminous skin in the world. Do you remember La terra trema by Luchino Visconti? Those Sicilian women dressed in black, but a little low-cut, just right, bright and provocative like never before. Go watch that movie again and then we’ll talk about it again. However, when it comes to women, I’m hardly wrong.” ― Giorgio Albertazzi

More Sicily Quotes

“Palermo, where we stayed for eight days, was splendid. The city located in the best situation in the world spends its life in the Conca d’Oro, the splendid valley that stretches between two seas. The lemon and orange groves were so absolutely perfect that I became a Pre-Raphaelite again.” ― Oscar Wilde

“We built our fashion around three fundamental concepts: Sicily, tailoring, and tradition. Our dream is to create a style that is timeless, and to create clothes with such a strong personality that whoever sees them can instantly say without a shadow of a doubt: this is a Dolce & Gabbana.” ― Domenico Dolce

“Sicily has suffered 13 foreign dominations from which she has taken both the best and the worst. The sequence of different cultures has made Sicily a fascinating place, quite unlike any other.” ― Andrea Camilleri

“The Spanish influence is the last; the first is Greek, the second and third are Saracen and Norman; the Renaissance only made a glancing impact here. Mix these various cultural elements with dazzling sun, African land, lots of dust, and wonderful vegetation, and you have Sicily.” ― Karel Čapek

“The South of Italy and Sicily were a gift from the gods to the Greeks.” ― Salvatore Furnari

“In the entire history of the human race no land and no people have suffered so terribly from slavery, conquests and foreign oppression, and no one has fought so indomitable for their own emancipation as Sicily and the Sicilians. Almost from the time when Polyphemus walked around Etna, or when Ceres taught the Sicilians the cultivation of wheat, up to the present day, Sicily has been the theater of continuous invasions and wars, and of intrepid resistance. Sicilians are a mixture of almost all the races of the south and north; before the aboriginal Sicanians with Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Greeks, and slaves from all over the world, imported to the island due to trade or wars; and then of Arabs, Normans, and Italians. The Sicilians, during all these transformations and modifications, have fought, and continue to fight, for their freedom.” ― Friedrich Engels

“Sicily contains the memories of the Romans, Muslims, Christians, and Jews. Sicily is also geographically close to North Africa. Sicily can be the Brussels of the Mediterranean.” ― Abraham Yehoshua

“Even in the most disconsolate areas, a sun shines that fills everything with itself and transhumances things: what elsewhere would be indifferent, here is divine because it is fully invested by a sympathetic light, clarifying every little structure.” ― Sebastiano Aglianò

“Sicily is undoubtedly one of the two great literary islands of the continent, the other being Ireland. Both have a very important tradition of writers and poets, to the point that we should reflect on the specific link that exists between the insular condition and the need for writing. A need often closely linked to the theme of nostalgia, given that, when writers live far from their native island, they sublimate nostalgia through writing.” ― Daniel Pennac

“Frank Sinatra took me to a whole new planet. I worked with him until he passed away in ’98. He left me his ring. I never take it off. Now, when I go to Sicily, I don’t need a passport. I just flash my ring.” ― Quincy Jones
